Yun Qiao returned to Xi's house and brought gifts to Du Xiaoqin and others.
The gift was touching. No one found fault this time, even the two unlucky brothers behaved well.
It’s the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
Yun Qiao sent someone to inquire about the Xu family in Hong Kong, and learned that Xu Yinjie had returned to Hong Kong long ago. He also learned that the Xu family was now headed by the eldest son, who had occupied most of the old man's property and wealth.
Xu Yinjie is the young master of the eldest family. His father and brother won the family fight.
However, the power of the Xu family will definitely be greatly reduced.
"That guy probably won't come back to Yancheng again." Yun Qiao thought.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Qiao has always been helpless when it comes to Xu Yinjie. Now that this guy is thousands of miles away from her, nothing could be better.
It was the twelfth lunar month, and the Xi family was very free.
In addition to reading by himself, Yun Qiao would stay in Xi Lanting's yard, where the two of them would read, play chess, and spend time together.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yanyu came to Yun Qiao and wanted Yun Qiao to go out with her to find a servant.
"...What to do?" Yun Qiao asked, "The servants in your yard are not enough to handle?"
"No, my dad has several small mansions in Yancheng and he needs to clean them up." Jiang Yanyu said.
Yun Qiao: "You brother and sister are moving out?"
"That's not true." Jiang Yanyu smiled, "It's my parents. They are coming to Yancheng."
"Why?"
"My dad had a quarrel with his peers, and in order to put pressure on them, he asked himself to resign," Jiang Yanyu said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Young Master Jiang's school has not yet had spring break. Some time ago, he took a lot of leave on the pretext of family matters, went on a mission, took care of a few businesses, and took a lot of leave.
The exam is approaching, and if he asks for leave again, he may face being expelled from the school, so Mr. Jiang has no time recently.
Jiang Yanyu asked Yun Qiao to help.
Yun Qiao has been fine recently.
The task given to her by her grandmother put her in a dilemma. Who in the Xi family is Du Xueru's helper and where the real Du Xiaoqin is hidden needs Yun Qiao to slowly find out.
Once the enemy is alerted, all the efforts will be in vain.
Yun Qiao will not leave the Xi family without seeing the real Du Xiaoqin.
Things had to take their time. Yun Qiao still had two years left, so she was not in a hurry; she had already memorized the professional course books, and she didn't know what to do next, so she was willing to go shopping with Jiang Yanyu.
Jiang Yanyu asked the third wife of the Xi family how to hire a servant and look decent with Yun Qiao to help.
Yun Qiao also went to their small mansion over there.
The small mansion is at the end of Sunan Road, close to the moat, the river outside Xi's house, and on the west bank of the river.
"This yard is very humid." As soon as Yun Qiao came in, she smelled the lingering musty smell.
Miss Jiang sighed: "There is nothing we can do. Your Yancheng is near a river and it loves to rain. If you don't take care of it for a few days, the house will smell like mold."
Yun Qiao and she looked around and found that the cabinet against the wall was rotten.
"The furniture must be replaced, and then the house must be baked for a few days, and all the wainscoting must be removed; there must be leaks in the roof, otherwise the wardrobe would not be rotten and must be repaired," Yun Qiao said.
Jiang Yanyu: "It's too troublesome!"
"Go and see other places." Yun Qiao said.
The Jiang family's other two small mansions are located in the downtown area. There is a business downstairs, and cars come and go. Jiang Yanyu shook his head: "My dad must be too noisy. He sent a telegram and said he wanted to live in the one near the river."
Yun Qiao pondered and asked her: "Do you live on the other side of the river? Your parents don't work, so your family must hire a driver. You don't have to worry about traffic problems. You can live on the east bank of the river."
I have a house there, which was recently renovated. It is clean and has no musty smell. The environment is elegant and quiet, and it is relatively large."
Jiang Yanyu: "Really?"
"certainly."
"That's great, let's go and have a look." She cheered.
She really didn't want to demolish the house here, but no one could live in the house unless it was demolished, so she had to wait for her parents to come and let her mother take care of it slowly.
The two of them came out of the small mansion and went downstairs to the street. They met Sheng Zhao.
Sheng Zhao wore a crimson cashmere coat with white fox fur around the collar, which highlighted her delicate little face and heavy makeup.
She was holding someone on her arm, and she was tall and straight, making her look particularly cute; and there were two men following behind her.
They are all her brothers.
All the men in the Sheng family are tall, but Sheng Zhao is a little one. But she is not short, and is just right in the eyes of the world; compared with her, Yun Qiao seems a bit too tall.
"Miss Yunqiao." Sheng Zhao saw her and greeted her first, "Are you going shopping?"
"Yes." Yun Qiao said.
Two of the men around Sheng Zhao had met Yun Qiao, and they had serious faces at this moment; the other one did not recognize Yun Qiao and asked with a smile: "A Zhao, your friend?"
"This is Yun Qiao, she is the daughter of the fourth wife of the Xi family." Sheng Zhao said.
The fourth wife's daughter, not Fourth Master Xi's daughter, Yun Qiao is probably the vixen her mother and sister said was the vixen who steals love with a knife.
"Oh, it's Miss Yun. She really deserves her reputation." The man smiled.
These words are particularly meaningful.
Then, he looked at Jiang Yanyu and asked her deliberately: "Who is this?"
Jiang Yanyu is not a particularly smart person, but she still has the sensitivity she should have.
She understood the malicious tone of the young master of the Sheng family and frowned slightly: "Yun Qiao, let's go."
